These fans apparently feel threatened by UAB but don't do anything about the in-state team that actually poses meaningful competition to Bama? I mean, I believe you, it's just weird.

Not only that, Bear Bryant Jr. also had a personal grudge against UAB after one of their basketball coaches dared to speak ill of his father's recruiting tactics. It took Little Bear 20 years but by god he killed UAB football. http://articles.latimes.com/1993-08-04/sports/sp-20220_1_sam-gilbert

I have no new BBQ updates from Austin other than to say that Mickelthwait is now popular enough to be basically sold out by early afternoon instead of dinner time so get there early.

Little baby BBQ is all grown up now. Seems like we need another couple of new places to open up. Still been meaning to go to Terry Black's. That'll happen, considering a close friend just moved into an apartment a few blocks away from there. He's paying more, per month, than I pay for my house, but, eh, downtown...

Austin property prices and rent are skyrocketing, I'm into my lease with my fiance until April next year and I'm almost afraid that by then buying a house will be almost too much, but renting will be pointless. I keep meaning to try Ed's BBQ at the top of Harvey & MLK just because it's walking distance from my house. I doubt it's great, but that convenience.

It kills me that rent is more than a mortgage, but rent is so high it's impossible to save enough at a high enough rate for the down payment. Basically my only hope at this point is that I inherent it from the family's fracking money

ulmont posted:According to the article, the proposed Louisiana state budget would cut LSU's funding by 82%, which is a bit more than 3%. The supplemental funding is a forgone conclusion; the closest appropriate figure would be ~28% defund across ALL LSU systems, which the main campus in Baton Rouge would not bear the brunt of. The larger issue at play is that Louisiana has as many public universities as the state of Florida, but with like 1/3 the population. Including private universities, it's kind of silly that there are around 15 or so campuses in Louisiana that offer 4-year degrees, especially given that some of them are woeful underperformers. IBID: A portion of that proposed defunding has been known about for a long time now & LSU has already done a fair amount of restructuring to accommodate that. The whole "82%" is a shot across the bow of the state legislature to pull their heads out of their collective assess & keep the wish-fulfillment of the Tea Party confined to private role-playing jerk-off fests instead of in the chambers of the state body where there's actually an impact to gutting taxes across the board then applying cutbacks in funding to education & healthcare.

Steve Patterson is alienating Texas fans and creating a culture of secrecy Kim Jong Un could only marvel at? Color me loving shocked. It's not like he hasn't pulled the same song and dance at literally every place he's ever been at, and people continue to hire him anyway and be surprised at what results. Couldn't have happened to a nicer school, too.Korranus posted:UT hired a professional sports GM and went public with the expectation said GM would run the Longhorns like a professional franchise; why do UT fans expect another outcome than "UT is even more like pro sports"? This is also important. Marketing is intangible bullshit, but what works in pro sports doesn't work in college sports.

Cardale really, REALLY should've gone pro last year. Not even for LOLBROWNS purposes, but because I don't think his draft stock would ever be higher. The way the predraft process has gone, he'd be a top-3 pick easy.
